Four More Days Of Sturgeon Retention Added

Oregon and Washington fishery managers announced the Bonneville Pool will re-open for sturgeon retention on July 11-12 and July 18-19.  On these days the mainstem Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to The Dalles Dam will be open for the retention of sturgeon between 38-inches and 54-inches fork length.  Sturgeon fishing is prohibited in the sturgeon spawning sanctuary from The Dalles Dam downstream 1.8 miles to a line from the east (upstream) dock of the Port of The Dalles boat ramp straight across to a marker on the Washington shore through July 31.  For The Dalles Pool and adjacent tributaries, managers announced an August 1 closure based on low catch rates in recent years and a shift in angler effort to fall salmon and steelhead.  The pool will remain open for catch-and-release fishing through the end of the year.
